I think Zybez got popular just because it existed in the golden window before mobile was a thing and after MMOs gained in popularity. It's also before behemoths like Wikia, Reddit, Quora, etc. which just cannibalized fansites and small, specialty sites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any impressions that you can remember about specifics ones? Nothing too specific but like I said, I loved the drama. I faintly remember VR, RoT, DI, TT, TF, Gladz, BK, DS, WG, and Sabres. Good times 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W13 12 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 1 minute ago, J0ey said: thoughts on the meta verse Kinda weird how Zuck is totally against remote work for his own employees yet he's pushing Metaverse which is all about remote work. I'm all for remote work. I did remote work before it was called remote work. (Zybez). Road accidents kill a lot of people, vehicles cause lots of pollution and global warming, and we lose on sleep because we gotta wake up earlier for the commute. We pay more in rent living closer to our workplaces. So, I think remote work is great and metaverse technologies will make it more acceptable.

W13 12 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Just now, True 2k8 said: If you were in a position to make 5 changes to society/law etc. what would they be? The world isn't fair and many of us have it better because many others have it worse. So, it's hard to be in this advantaged position and want change for those who are disadvantaged. I'm not a philosopher or lawyer or anything, but if we collectively decided to make all global conflicts virtual, i think it'd be a good thing. No more physically going and hitting somebody. Instead, hop on a game and duke it out online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of health: I wanna start jumping rope again - something I had done during the pandemic. I'd like to take more vacations - and possibly even a totally remote job which lets me live anywhere in the world, thus eternal vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@True 2k8 3,223 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 What was the point/idea behind Zybez Exclusive? IIRC the original iteration was a monthly donation rank, was it just to keep up server costs or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch tons of documentaries mostly. And I consume an insane amount of chess content. Just now, True 2k8 said: What was the point/idea behind Zybez Exclusive?

People didn't wanna pay money to a fansite when many of them were paying $5 a month for a whole game. Also, we had nothing to offer them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never slept peacefully because of the fear that the next day they'd come up with a new way to eradicate fansites or just somehow destroy their own game.
